Smartphone screen protector market is expected to grow at CAGR of ~7.5% during the forecast period and expected to reach market size of US $49.2 Billion by the end of forecast period. The demand for smartphone screen protection in the market is driven by the increased awareness of the smartphone and tablet users for the protection of the screen of smart phones and tablets from damages and breakage. Repurchase of the screen protectors during the product lifecycle of smartphones is expected to boost the demand of smartphone screen protectors.

The features provided by smartphone screen protectors such as transparency, scratch proof and air bubble proof among others will also contribute to the growth of this market. The smartphone screen protectors are also available for all sizes of smartphones. Smartphone screen protectors are known for their water resistant properties and long lasting nature.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from Market Research Future (MRFR)’s team said:

Among all materials, it is forecasted that the tempered glass material will be used extensively for ensuring the protection of smartphone screens. The growth can be attributed to factors such as the reduced cost of the raw materials and the increased toughness provided by tempered glass which ensures protection of the screen from scratches. The demand of old materials such as Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) are expected to witness a slowdown in its growth as these materials are now rapidly substituted by the tampered glass material. The resistance provided by these materials for scratches and other related damages is quite less. The tempered glass reduces the fingerprints and provides better scratch resistance as compared to the other materials. If the smartphone drops, the tempered glass protection is damaged and the screen of the smartphone remains intact with no damage to its display.

The Global Smartphone screen protector Market has been segmented on the basis of materials, types, thickness and applications. Materials comprises of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), tempered glass material, Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and multi-layer among others. The different types of smartphone screen protectors are 2D, 2.5D, 3D, color screen protector and 9H tempered glass among others. The screen protectors are available in thickness of 0.21 mm, .026mm, 0.33 mm and 0.48mm among others. The applications include smartphones, tablets and others.
